BAKER'S DOZEN COFFEE, BEER AND DOUGHNUT FEST
Apr 19
Established in 2015, Baker’s Dozen Fest returns in 2025 for the ninth annual festival that curates three things Portland does best. PDX boasts as many coffee roasteries as there are craft breweries; the marriage of the two is a natural pairing, which itself pairs majestically with doughnuts from a baker’s dozen artisan bakeries.
The idea is for you to enjoy all 13 different coffee-infused beers (3 oz pours), many of the specific coffees featured in those beers, and samples of all 13 different doughnuts as you revel in the gustatory bounty here in Portland, a.k.a. Beervana, or Coffeetopia, or Doughnuttown.
The festival starts at brunch time (10 a.m.) and ends at 1 p.m. to allow you to still have the rest of your Saturday to enjoy other adventures… or simply go home and take a nap.

PHISH
Apr. 20
The preeminent jam band of the 1990s and early 21st century, Phish has built not only a wide-ranging and inventive body of work but also inspired a unique and devoted fan culture similar to that of their forebears, the Grateful Dead. Formed in Vermont in the mid-'80s, Phish nurtured an ever-expanding grassroots audience who were drawn to their sterling musicianship, quirky personality, and spontaneous free-form improvisations, which included elements of psychedelia, jazz fusion, funk, progressive rock, folk, country, and blues. Building on the Dead's template, the quartet placed a greater emphasis on live performance than studio work and encouraged fans to tape and trade recordings of their concerts.
